Anyone know if it is possible to change the pointer or cursor that indicates where your finger is touching? Would like to be able to put in callouts or at least a bigger circle to circle objects when using screen record to highlight a specific area. The best I could do so far is change the option under show touches which will basically scribble the area you write in. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Of course you can change but firstly you have request to the ROM developers to include such features/options to change the cursor/pointer.
Initially stock firmware ROMs don't have this feature. I also haven't tried any apps which can change the cursor/pointer by which I can suggest few to you.
But for PC you can use CURSORFX to change the pointer/cursor

Hey Guys and Gals...
Just been messing with the sliders and settled on a grey bar across the top of the slider back ground..
I have a small problem with the alignment on the slider icons.
From what I can tell.. There are two bar icons one that is always present and one that appears as you scroll and changes to the tab that you are selecting.
The The top most is the one that changes as you slid across the bar. This one seems a little larger than the permanently visible.
Does any one know the manila files or a method to change so they are the same size or move the topmost down a couple of pixels.
Thanks
Neville
What did you use to change it? If your using HD Wall then I would say not that I know of since it does all the work for you. If you are using Mode9 or CFC_GUI then you can just edit the picture in photoshop.
I used manila editor to extract the PNG of the slider and changed that...
I'm ok with that part Hence the small grey line above the home icon...
I'm looking for a source that will tell how to change the slider foreground or background icons.
Any Idea?
Thanks
I´m not sure that i understand it right.
But you can use HDwall to create a slider. Put the images in HDwall convert and than you find the manila files in the HDwall programm folder. These you can copy to your Windows folder on your Device.

Hope that is what you want.

I like what you're doing with the slider mate. It's always bugged me the way it is, and what you're doing looks really subtle. Are you planning on cabbing up the manila files when you're done?
johncmolyneux - I may be asking you to cab it
I've replaced the slider with the line above the icon. I – like you – hate the way the slider sits above the tabbar. However I’ve found that making the slider transparent shows that the two icons don’t sit over each other. This has always been a peeve for transparent slider frames.
So I’m now trying to find the foregrounds Icon and turn those transparent, so that it only looks as though there is one icon.
Whilst I’m there I was thinking of making the back ground icons transparent, so that you would only have current tab icon showing, one step at a time...
Thanks for the interest.. here is the slider if you want to try
Not zipped, just rename and remove the ".zip"

It's a simple alignment issue. I found the same issue when I made my sliders. I just use photo shop to make the current tab icon a bit bigger an move it ever so slightly over so that it full covers the lower icon. It's not hard just set the two images over one another in a layer to make sure it will cover it properly before uploading back into manila form.

Do you have any information, like what files sit where (foreground / background)?

If your looking for a list of the manila names and exactly what they do I can't help you there. Depending on the ROM you could have 3 to 4 files that are associated with each tab. The slightly larger one is the foreground image while on the tab. The others are the static,highlighted,and tab selection on the settings page for tab order.
You can go through and change each one at a time till you figure it out or you can wait till somebody responds with the list you are looking for which I don't think will happen. Sorry........
I thought that may have been the case - Thanks anyway - Wanted to do something like this for an ages... will have to mark what the files do when I find them. I'm sure I saw a Wiki page but can't find it at the moment...
Managed to reduce the height on the selector of level one and two.
I know there is a list that will tell you what each manila goes to ie Home,MMS,Email,etc but it will not tell you what it does in relation to the tab as far as foreground,selected,static,etc...
KNows you where that is?
Hi,
I like to be able to use my phone with one hand, for basic phone operation like making calls, sms, etc. This allows me to conveniently use my phone when my other hand is busy.
The current lock screen requires me to make a horizontal swipe action which is difficult to make with the thumb while holding the phone. Try this out on your phone please. What I need is a lock screen with a circular/diagonal swipe action. The attached image will illustrate this. Please pardon the crookedness of the drawing.
So, can somebody please make a lock screen with this particular feature. I'm sure others will find this useful too.
Thanks
Check out the program WidgetLocker.
You can add a rotary slider and many other styles.

Use lockbot from the market and select the x10 lock(app is free)

The rotary unlock that was stock on the Motorola Droid (original) and is now included in CyanogenMod works pretty well with one hand.
New user here guys so this maybe a stupid question, but where's the prod tools icon ??
Watched a few videos but cant see anything like that on mine.
See screenshots attached.
Click the text tool (the T) then click it again.
Not sure if that is what you want

Am I wrong?

I'm just wondering if someone can elaborate on this a little bit and let us know how to fix this. I don't seem to have the productivity toolbar or haven't found where to select it. Specifically I can't do the handwriting recognition.
Thanks
The first icon enables or disables edit.
Next to this, in fact to the right of it, is a group of 4 icons.
The first is the drawing icon, next is the icon that you're looking for.
By double tapping it you can change between various features including formula, shape and text recognition.
Maybe this is common knowledge but I just discovered today that different templates have different functions embedded in them that apparently aren't available in other templates, e.g. long pressing on the contacts field in the meeting template allows you to bring up your contacts, you can also bring up a change date window in the date field etc.
In the diary you can change the weather icon types, in travel you can open maps app and import a clipping of an area and so on. It's very disappointing that you cannot seem to insert/use these fields in every note. The functions you want don't appear to be in a memo based note but are in others.

Agreed. This seems like quite an oversight on Samsung's part. You should be able to use all of the functionality regardless of the template. This took me a while to figure out until I watched their videos over again and picked up on this.

Same issue here. You have to pick a template to suit what you want to create. Its quite confusing. There also seems to be little documentation about what template has what tool.I can understand the floating note pad not having all tools but everything in the full snote app should have them. Maybe a tools toggle button to turn on and off what you want in the tool bar would make even more sense.
But i still enjoy the device

Hi. Pls let me know if you ever found out if the memo template has the productivity tools icon. I also can't find it.
productivity tools
To reach the handwriting to text, click on the productivity tools twice or hover over the button with your s pen and click once (looks like the shape button) a drop down menu will show up with the handwriting to text on the last options. Hopes this helps :fingers-crossed:
HI all
I have note 10.1 2014, and the snote does not have productivity tool icon in any template I have tried. Can someone help me?

I have a lot of notes but printing in yellow seems to be a bit wasteful. Can we customermise those background templates to our own? Moreover, is there anyway of changing the size as it seems to be much smaller than A4
I don't have my note with me to upload the pictures and it's in a thread here someplace but, you can scan a regular ruled piece of paper to use as a background. You have to import it and then select your template. Also you could go to your note and choose change background from dropping down menu and just set it to white.

Thanks and it works. Glad that I can change my template this way. is there a permanent solution? Selecting import everytime I have a new note seems troublesome. Is it possible to make it one of those pre-set template / make it default by changing some system files?

I believe there is a thread around here somewhere were there was talk about modifying the s-note.apk to include different backgrounds. You probably could try. I've thought about it but I was kind of waiting until the update came out so I wouldn't have to do it twice if it's even possible.
After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.
You mean this?
To do this?
Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!
It's on the color palette now
